Preface 

The Pittsburgh pubhc schools and the Carnegie Library of 
Pittsburgh, since the organization of the latter, have striven 
jointly and constantly to bring the pupils in the schools into 
close touch with good books. The Library was opened to the 
public in November 1895. Soon thereafter arrangements were 
made for teachers and principals of schools within the city limits 
to draw a number of volumes for class use. These books were 
drawn directly from the shelves of the Loan department and 
charged on schoolroom cards. The demand increased steadily 
and the Library found within two or three years that these calls 
could no longer satisfactorily be met from the shelves of the 
regular Loan collection, because the books most needed by the 
schools were so much in demand, and the calls coming from so 
many sources, that the volumes were too rarely upon the 
shelves. Therefore in December 1898 the Library set apart, 
for school use only, a special collection of duplicate copies of 
the most attractive books suitable for the purpose. That collec- 
tion of duplicates formed the basis for this work and, with 
necessary changes and frequent additions, has been in active use 
in the schools of the city since that time. 

In December 1899, at the invitation of the Pittsburgh Prin- 
cipals' Association, the librarian, Mr Edwin H. Anderson, 
addressed its members and urged that steps be taken to have 
the work of the Library with the schools more thoroughly 
organized and systematized. The principals were not less 
eager than the librarian to have this done, and a committee was 
at once appointed to cooperate with the librarian and his as- 
sistants in the preparation of a carefully selected and graded 
list of books most suitable for school use, apart from the ordi- 
nary text-books. To the general committee were added nine 
sub-committees to cover the following subjects : Art, Geogra- 
phy, History, Language, General literature. Kindergarten, 
Pedagogy, Nature and High School reading. Each of the nine 



6 PREFACE 

committees submitted a graded list covering its special field 
and, with the exception of the language list, the classification in 
the catalogue conformed to the divisions made by the com- 
mittee. Instead of making a separate language sub-division, 
all books included in the list having a generally recognized 
literary value were marked with the asterisk. 

The "Graded and Annotated Catalogue of Books in the 
Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh for the use of the City Schools" 
was issued in December 1900 and the edition exhausted early in 
1902. A demand for copies, however, has continued up to the 
present time and this revision of the lists prepared for school 
grades one to eight inclusive is now issued to meet that demand 
in part. The list of books intended for use in the High schools 
has been omitted, as well as the various lists of reference books 
for teachers, because it appears that these lists will be more con- 
venient if issued as a separate publication. Out-of-print books 
have been omitted from the lists here presented and new titles 
added. Teachers in the Pittsburgh Schools have given freely 
of their time to aid in the work of revision, and the grading 
in the new edition is therefore based on their experience. In 
the selection of books to be included teachers and authorities 
on special subjects have been consulted and particular attention 
has been paid to the choice of editions, having regard both to 
text and to illustrations. 

As in the earlier edition, the title and annotation for each 
book is repeated in every grade to which the index assigns it. 
This arrangement adds greatly to the size of the catalogue 
as well as to the labor of preparing it, but it enables the teachers 
to use each grade as a complete list without referring elsewhere 
for the annotations. There has been no attempt to furnish 
anything in the nature of supplementary text-book reading as 
a part of the routine school work. The aim has been, rather, 
to provide collateral reading in history, biography, travel, ad- 
venture, simple science and good fiction to be used in the school 
room and sent into the homes of the children. It is hoped that 
the annotations, which are made chiefly for the teachers and 
from their standpoint, may help them in guiding the children 
in their choice of books, and in fitting the right book to the 
right child. 

4t present the collection for school use consists of about 



PREFACE 7 

"20,000 volumes, comprising some 2,412 titles. It is adminis- 
tered by a supervisor of work with schools and forms a bureau 
or division of the Children's department of the Library. The 
supervisor visits the schools, studies their needs and loans col- 
lections of books for the school year to public, private and 
parochial schools. During the past year sixty-six were sup- 
plied with books in this way. The books are used by the 
teachers in their class-rooms and loaned by them to the children 
for home reading. A full record of the class-room use made 
of these books is not feasible but a partial count kept last year 
showed that 143,845 volumes were so used. To this number 
is to be added the record of home circulation from the same 
collection, namely 81,803 volumes, making a total recorded use 
amounting to 225,648 for the collection. The following table 
shows the home circulation of books loaned to children through 
the schools for the past nine years :

At the Central Library building, in addition to the Chil- 
dren's Reading Room, there is in preparation a separate study 
room for school children, which is to be furnished with maps, 
globes, atlases and reference books particularly suited to their 
needs. In close connection therewith is provided also a special 
reference room for teachers, which is to contain one copy of 
each book in the school duplicate collection and also a pedagogi- 
cal and text-book collection. It is hoped that these will prove 
a valuable aid both to the schools and to the Library in the 
work toward which this catalogue is one step, namely placing 
in the hands of the children in our schools the best books only.

I November 1907. Librarian. 



Approval by the Pittsburgh Principals' Association 

The Public Schools of Pittsburgh recognize in the Carnegie 
Library a most helpful and permanent ally in every department 
of school work. This catalogue of books for children is especi- 
ally appreciated by the school workers because it indicates 
definitely and fully the literature so essential in the develop- 
ment of intelligence, character and general culture. The care- 
ful grading of the books listed, the complete annotation for 
ready and convenient reference, and withal, the high character 
of the reading matter recommended for the several grades, 
make this publication a most valuable schoolroom guide. A 
copy of it should be found on every teacher's desk, and from its 
proper use should be developed the habit and the inclination on 
the part of the pupils to read the books of genuine worth in 
elementary education. 

The substantial benefit derived from the former catalogue 
is gratefully acknowledged by teachers and pupils. This later 
work, thoroughly revised and brought down to date, should be 
still more helpful as a factor in schoolroom culture. 

Therefore, in behalf of the Public Schools we desire to 
record our unqualified approval of this w^ork by the Library 
authorities, and to express the hope that the outcome shall be an 
adequate appreciation of the educative spirit of the Library's 
management and a due recognition of its inestimable benefits to 
the youth of Pittsburgh.

Endorsement by the City Superintendent of Schools 

I most heartily concur with the Principals' Association in 
the approval of this excellent work. The good results predicted 
from the catalogue issued in 1900 have been fully realized. 
The suggested use of juvenile literature so well outlined in that 
publication has broadened our school work, vitalized interest in 
general reading, and laid the foundation for more intelligent 
thought along all lines. I confidently expect, therefore, that 
this revised and improved catalogue will bring to our schools 
still greater good in the education of our boys and girls. 

Samuel Andrews, 

City Superintendent of Schools.

"The latest good genius of children's book illustrations is Mr. Randolph 

Caldecott, a designer assuredly of the very first order. There is a 

spontaneity of fun, and unforced invention about everything he does, 

that is infinitely entertaining. Other artists draw to amuse us; Mr. 

Caldecott seems to draw to am.use himself, — and this is his charm."

"Since Stothard, no one has given us such a clear-eyed, soft- faced, 
happy-hearted childhood. . .Added to this, the old-world costume in 
which [Miss Greenaway] usually elects to clothe her characters, lends 
an arch piquancy. . .Her taste in tinting, too, is very sweet and 
spring-like; and there is a fresh, pure fragrance about all her pic- 
tures as of new-gathered nosegays." Andrew Lang.

Chinese Mother Goose rhymes. Revell, $1.25 J398 H38

they ought to be familiar to all young readers.

"The latest good genius of children's book illustrations is Mr. Randolph 

Caldecott, a designer assuredly of the very first order. There is a 

spontaneity of fun, and unforced invention about everything he does, 

that is infinitely entertaining. Other artists draw to amuse us; Mr. 

Caldecott seems to draw to amuse himself, — and this is his charm." 

Andrevj Lang.

grotesque and comical little elves swarm on every page, intent on 
mischief or merry-making, and the drawing is clever. Rhymed stories 
accompany the illustrations, but the pictures are the important part.

lightful fairy book.

*Love-songs of childhood. Scribner, $1.00 j8ii F45I 

Few children can resist the tenderness, humor and rhythm of this true 
child-lover's poems. It is suggested that the teacher read them aloud

Claus and who had sufficient imagination to see things at night."

Jacobs. Macmillan, $1.50 j888 Aasfi 

Some of the fables are: The wolf and the lamb. — The lion's share. — 
The frogs desiring a king. — The goose with the golden eggs. — Belling 
the cat. Especially adapted to committing to memory and reading

The name of .Ssop, the slave of Samos, is so identified with the fable 
in literature, that almost all the fables that have appeared in the 
western v/orld have been sheltered at one time or another under the 
shadow of his name. In the struggle for existence among all these 
fables a certain number stand out as the most effective and familiar. 
These Mr Jacobs has brought together in this most attractive little 
volume.

The fairy tales which the people of Asia, Arabia and Persia used to tell. 
The events are supposed to have hapi ened in the reign of the great 
caliph, Haroun al Raschid, 786-808 A. D. It was not until the 
reigns of Queen Anne and George I that the people of England and 
France read them, for they were then translated into French by M. 
Galland. From the French they were translated into all languages 
and this edition is from Galland's version. The poetry and a great 
deal that was dull and stupid is left out, and there are many illus- 
trations.

*Light princess, and other fairy tales. Putnam, $1.75 JM146I 

*Princess and the goblin. Blackie, 3s. 6d jMi46pr 

Mr MacDonald in his fairy tales teaches spiritual truths through al- 
legories. It is to be wished that he had made the meaning of his 
allegories plainer to the reader. It is hard sometimes to distinguish 
the allegory from the flights of fancy. 

The reader rises, however, from the reading with a stronger faith in 
things unseen and a deep feeling of the inadequacy of things mundane. 
Mr iMacDonald's stories remind one of cathedrals, where purity and 
silence reign within, while the evil spirits, in hideous and fantastic 
shapes, cling lingeringly among the cornices and buttresses without.

Dickens, Charles. 

♦Child's history of England. Button, $2.50 J942 D55 

This is, of course, one of the standards. Dickens is of the class of 
historians that Macaulay had in mind when he speaks of "the qualifica- 
tions of the perfect historian." Dickens did have the imagination 
sufficiently powerful to make his narrative affecting and picturesque, 
but he did not have it under that control which contented itself with 
the materials at hand, nor could he always refrain from supplying 
deficiencies by additions of his own.

dians." The book on the whole, however, is interesting, fairly ac- 
curate and contains many illustrations and a map of the United States

poleon I."

MacDonald, George. 

*At the back of the north wind. Blackie, 3s. 6d jMi46at 

*Princess and the goblin. Blackie, 3s. 6d jMi46pr 

Mr MacDonald in his fairy tales teaches spiritual truths through 
allegories. It is to be wished that he had made the meaning of his 
allegories plainer to the reader. It is hard sometimes to distinguish 
the allegory from the flights of fancy. 

The reader rises, however, from the reading with a stronger faith in 
things unseen and a deep feeling of the inadequacy of things mundane. 
Mr MacDonald's stories remind one of cathedrals, where purity and 
silence reign within, while the evil spirits, in hideous and fantastic 
shapes, cling lingeringly among the cornices and buttresses without.

perilous adventures, the courage and the sacrifices of the daring troop- 
ers of the plains. 

Dickens, Charles. 

*Child's history of England. Button, $2.50 J942 D55 

This is, of course, one of the standards. Dickens is of the class of 
historians that Macaulay had in mind when he speaks of "the qualifi- 
cations of the perfect historian." Dickens did have the imagination 
sufficiently powerful to make his narrative affecting and picturesque, 
but he did not have it under that control which contented itself with 
the materials at hand, nor could he always refrain from supplying de- 
ficiencies by additions of his own.

About King Philip, Pontiac, Tecumseh, Weatherford, Black Hawk and 
other Indian chiefs and their wars with the white settlers. 

Prof. Hodge, of the Bureau of American ethnology, disapproves of the

dians." The book on the whole, however, is interesting, fairly accu- 
rate and contains many illustrations and a map of the United States 
showing the Indian reservation.

Goss, Warren Lee. 

Recollections of a private; a story of the Army of the 

Potomac. Crowell, $1.50 J973-7 GSgr 

"The book is interesting as showing what a man experiences as he de- 
velops from a recruit to a veteran under the pressure of active ser- 
vice. . .One charming characteristic marks the whole — a simple, sincere, 
unboastful but genuine patriotism that leaves no doubt as to the 
honesty of the author whether fighting or writing. While deploring 
the necessity that required force to preserve the Union, he is filled 
with admiration for the personal gallantry of the men who supported 
the losing and lost cause. Pie nowhere scolds and throughout the book 
presents an unconscious model of the typical Union volunteer."
